Possible outbreak in Krygystan, just in case the Four horsemen want to make it an interesting week given we've got War on the topic, and now Pestilence.

One wonders if Pope Krix has heard the Tweets of our Heavenly Father on this subject? Blink

He's more interested in His Mega-Church in Dallas Texas where the pastor warned of 'vaccine linkage to autism'..............and is now having a Measles outbreak involving 21 so far this week.

All that's fun stuff for sure but seems things are really getting wacky in our world... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLiqa_Y8Gn8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

The plague was never wiped out. It still exists around the world. Mostly moving through rodent colonies.

But clean living means it's hard to contract and since it's spread through bacteria. Most standard antibiotics clear it right out.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

Isn't this how World War Z started?

I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies. I maim toddlers and teens and then more.

the plague cycles through outbreaks fairly frequently

most people in the 1st world don't notice because of effective treatments
it's so mundane it's not even newsworthy anymore

The plague isn't really a issue in 1st world countries at all. The plague is pretty nasty, but assuming you can get medical attention you can walk away with nothing (besides a kickass story)

Provided it isn't a new strain that antibiotics don't work on

Well it would have to have been exposed to an antibiotic to become immune to it and there are a lot of different types out there.

New strains are if anything more susceptible to antibiotics than any. The dangerous ones are just regular strains of bacteria that linger around hospitals and get constant exposure to antibiotics.

Thanks for starting my day off right, Surfin'. Smile

Chipmunks, living in the Rocky Mountains of the USA and Canada, have been known to be carriers of Bubonic Plauge for years.
